What R-Studio is

R-Studio is a family of disk recovery software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports recovery from local and removable disks, hard drives, flash drives, SD memory cards, USB memory sticks, network disks, and disk images. Listed capabilities include memory card recovery, RAID recovery, bootable recovery, and file preview. Network recovery can work over LAN, TCP/IP networks, and the Internet, with network data encrypted using 3DES.

The listed plans cover distinct recovery needs. R-Studio FAT is for FAT/exFAT recovery, R-Studio NTFS covers NTFS/ReFS, and R-STUDIO includes local recovery, file preview, and disk imaging.
